Using Trex in SRM

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

Environment SRM 7.0 PPS ECC 6.0 eph4

Wanted to see if any one used TREX to optimize vendor search and display the vendors quickly when creating a shopping cart in SRM.

The issue we are facing occurs when clicking on the preffered supplier list to display the list of vendors which are pulled from SRM and displayed in the portal.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Scott

Hi Scot

sorry to bother via this thread.

what is your total number of vendors in the existing system? .

create some fixed vendors by negotiating like contract , inforecord and reduce the burden of buyers.

if you put some prefered vendor, it goes to buyer cockpit and he again search a vendor , negotiate the vendor and update the price if you activate sourcing or will create incomplete PO / Complete PR upon sceanrio selections....

TREX helps only if you want to enable full text search for long texts and attachments in the business objects( contract, vendor,po).

can some one correct me if i am wrong.

Thanks

Hi Muthu,

Thanks for your reply.

We have around a million vendors in the database, but only 500 are displayed in the search as it is the default setting.

This vendor search is for the self-service user creating a shopping cart.

Thanks.

All,

We would like to know if this were possible as well. We're having the same problem with vendor search taking upwards 6 minutes to return the list.
